🎣 Focus On... Lymmvale! 🎣

It's time for another instalment of our Focus On series, and this time we're heading to one of the most historic and iconic waters in Lymm Angling Club's portfolio – Lymmvale.

🌊 From old sand quarry to specimen water...

Lymmvale's story stretches back to the early 1970s, when the club purchased the former sand quarry near Whitegate. At the time the water was highly acidic and considered something of a gamble, but after extensive work to correct the water chemistry, Lymmvale began its transformation into the fishery generations of Lymm anglers have come to know.

Initially used as a trout water, its first coarse fish included golden orfe, followed by tench from the famous Woburn Abbey estate.

Those golden orfe would go on to make Lymmvale famous nationally, culminating in Michael Wilkinson's incredible 8lb 5oz British Record in 2000 – a piece of Lymm AC history that still stands proudly today.

🐟 And there's still plenty to get excited about...

Today, the Vale remains a true specimen water, home to carp over 30lb, tench over 10lb and catfish over 50lb, alongside bream, eels, roach and rudd.

The tench fishing in particular has long been synonymous with Lymmvale, while its carp – including some stunning ghosties – and powerful catfish give anglers plenty of other reasons to keep returning.

📸 Now we want to see your Lymmvale memories!

The Vale has been part of the club for more than half a century, so we're sure there are plenty of stories hiding in our membership.

Whether it's a big tench from the glory years, one of the Vale's famous carp or cats, an old photograph from decades gone by, your first fish from the water, or simply a great picture from a memorable session – share your Lymmvale photos and memories in the comments below.

We'd particularly love to see some of the older pictures and hear from members who remember how the water has changed over the years!

❓ Not a member but fancy fishing Lymmvale next year?

Our 2027 Gold and Gold Plus (Stillwaters) Waiting List is now open. If you'd like the opportunity to fish Lymmvale and our other stillwaters in 2027, head over to https://lymmac.com and add your name to the waiting list. Invitations to join will begin being sent from 1st February 2027.

🎣 Let's see those Lymmvale catches, memories and old photographs! 👇

Following the recent warm conditions and upcoming heavy rain weather forecast, we are asking all members to keep a particularly close eye on our waters over the next 24–48 hours.

These conditions can potentially affect water quality, dissolved oxygen levels and algae, so early identification of any developing problems is extremely important.

Please report anything unusual as soon as you notice it, including:

* Fish showing signs of distress or unusual behaviour
* Fish gasping at the surface
* Sudden changes in water colour, clarity or smell
* Significant changes or increases in algae
* Unusual run-off or pollution entering the water
* Dead or dying fish
* Anything else that simply doesn’t look right

Please do not assume that somebody else has already reported it. We would much rather receive several reports about the same issue than risk something important going unnoticed.

Early warning gives us the best opportunity to attend the water promptly, take appropriate readings and, where necessary, implement corrective action to protect our fish stocks.

If you are fishing or visiting one of our waters over the next couple of days, please take a few moments to observe the water and the behaviour of the fish.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us look after our waters and fish stocks.
